Candy Cane Festival at Hammond Candy Factory

 

Today’s activity (the blog is almost all caught up!) was the candy cane festival. The line was looooong, and it was cold—we were surprised to see that most of the festivities were outside. While Fielding and I held our place in line, Sawyer met the local celebrities.
